I think they will eventually, but it’s going to be a painful experience for us consumers

I actually already pay for Game Pass, and I think it’s a fantastic value. Mostly because it has a much greater breadth and width than just one publisher. This has been done before in similar fashion by Ubisoft with Uplay, as they tried to ape EA with Origin and now EA Play. Those three things all sucked though. No one…

Awesome! So if I wasn’t already paying an excessive amount for a sub-standard, ill supported service from Google that will be sunset in 6 months, I can also combine that with an excessive subscription fee for a limited library of games from a single publisher. Where do I sign up!

It’s not a snow level, but the color palette matches for Lava Reef Act 2 in Sonic and Knuckles.

Not really surprising to see this happen. I’m glad that Super Meat Boy Forever will be on Switch. I don’t do much gaming on the PC anymore, so that will be nice. I got the impression that some of the indies presented were more auteur driven, which is nice as that sort of style of game seems to have fallen out of favor…

The same sort of people who are out there championing Retro Studios for working on Metroid Prime 4, but not understanding that most of, if not any, of the people who made the previous Metroid Prime games are still around.

Nope! Because our society favors more laize faire approaches to capitalism that ensure that those with the means are able to horde resources and goods.

You shouldn’t have to feel like you won a golden ticket for anything really. Yay capitalism.

Shit hit the fan there a long time ago. This is the death rattle.

The song gives off some funeral dirge vibes, and it wouldn’t surprise me to learn that it’s part of the musical inspiration for A Link Between Worlds.

Id put forth the winter sections of AC3, and the entire mountain of SSX3 over Tricky. Tricky really let the series stand apart from being the snowboard version of Tony Hawk, but the mountain so supremely tied it all together into the entire experience of snowboarding that was highly accurate in what it's like to be on…

No Cyberpunk at all for me. I’ll be checking out the new stuff in Animal Crossing, AC Valhalla, and maybe Destiny 2 for the first time ever.

Hell yeah Super Meat Boy. My wedding cake was topped with Meat Boy and Bandage Girl figurines. After all then isolation and quarantining of 2020, expect the road trip game to become the new indie du jour setting for the next couple of years.

I didn’t know anything about this, so I’m super psyched. I love the Dragon Age games, but just really haven’t translated that enthusiasm to beyond the games. The quote from Patrick Weekes makes me think that this is not going to be a game where we help ferment revolution and overthrown the Tevinter government. We’ve…

All business is personal.

Polygon wrote a pretty good piece about it:

I feel like its not just Quick Resume. AC Valhalla turned on not just HDR, which really made things look fantastic, but the console is also now turning on low latency game mode when I launch a game (after I approved that).

No. I wasn’t super excited for it already, and the marketing has really turned me off to it.

OT: We had the funeral over the weekend. It was nice, but I was really put out by the honor guard. They were standing right next to all the mourners, and pointed their guns right over us all for the salute. Even if they were shooting blanks, I felt that was very irresponsible. I was only about 10 ft from them, and…
